Question

【題目】Close your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you had a hundred dollars less. Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with you eyes closed. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your fingertips.

With existing medical knowledge and skills, two-thirds of the world’s 42 million blind should not have to suffer. Unfortunately, rich countries posses most of this knowledge, while developing countries do not.

ORBIS is an international non-profit organization which operates the world’s only flying teaching eye hospital. ORBIS intends to help fight blindness worldwide. Inside a DC-8 aircraft, there is a fully-equipped teaching hospital with television studio and classroom. Doctors are taught the latest techniques of bringing sight back to people there. Project ORBIS also aims at promoting peaceful cooperation among countries.

ORBIS tries to help developing countries by providing training during three-week medical programs. ORBIS has taught sight-saving techniques to over 35,000 doctors and nurses, who continue to cure tens of thousands of blind people every year. ORBIS has conducted 17 plane programs in China so far. For the seven to ten million blind in China, ORBIS is planning to do more for them. At the moment an ORBIS is working on a long-term plan to develop a training center and to provide eye care service to Shanxi Province. ORBIS needs your help to continue their work and free people from blindness.

For just US$38,you can help one person see; for $380 you can bring sight to 10 people; $1,300 helps teach a doctor new skills; and for $13,000 you can provide a training program for a group of doctors who can make thousands of blind people see again. Your money can open their eyes to the world. Please help ORBIS improve the quality of life for so many people less fortunate than ourselves.

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】

試題分析：這是一篇說明文。世界盲人多達4千萬。為使貧富國家獲得均等的醫(yī)療知識和技術，ORBIS組織舉辦flying teaching eye hospital，并且為之做了許多貢獻。要讓這個教學機構發(fā)揮更大作用，大家都不免出一份力吧！

【1】C寫作意圖題。 該段有三句話.連續(xù)用了三個imagine.。尤其后兩句要讀者想象一下：閉著眼睛度過余生將會怎樣；用指尖不用眼睛閱讀此文又會怎樣（imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with you eyes closed. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your finger-tips.）。作者的意圖顯然要大家體會一下盲人生活，從而引起讀者閱讀下文話題的興趣。因此C選項正確。

【2】B細節(jié)理解題。 文章第二段告訴我們，當今世界醫(yī)療知識如此豐富，醫(yī)療技巧如此發(fā)達，4千萬的盲人，2/3的不應該遭受失明的痛苦。然而醫(yī)療知識和技巧的擁有發(fā)達居多，而貧窮國家則無。顯然是醫(yī)療知識和技巧的分配不均（Unfortunately, rich countries posses most of this knowledge, while developing countries do not.）。由此可知B選項正確。

【3】B 細節(jié)理解題。 文中第三段告訴我們，在ORBIS組織中醫(yī)生被教給使盲人恢復視力的最新技術（Doctors are taught the latest techniques of bringing sight back to people there.）；在第四段中還可知ORBIS組織通過提供為期三個星期的培訓課程來幫助發(fā)展中國家（ ORBIS tries to help developing countries by providing training during three-week medical programs.）； 該段還提到ORBIS 組織已教了三萬五千多名醫(yī)生護士相關的恢復視力技巧（ORBIS has taught sight-saving techniques to over 35,000 doctors and nurses, ）。由此得知，B選項與此意吻合。

【5】D大意歸納題。全文先以吸引讀者關注盲人入手，然后介紹ORBIS組織運營的flying teaching eye hospital給全世界培訓醫(yī)生和護士所做出的貢獻。最后倡導大家捐款來幫助ORBIS組織運營的flying teaching eye hospital。唯有C選項符合文章大意。A選項以及B選項范疇太大，不貼切。所以D 選項正確。
